SAHM summer time and out of the house

Splash Pads, the pool, local parks, library, VBS, these have been our go to things! Sometimes an indoor play place like recently with this massive heat wave!

We go to the storytime at the library and local parks. We also just signed up for skyzone trampoline park for one month and it costs $28/month.

There are so many free things to do if you have the time to search. Some of our favorites:
- free museum passes through the library (I've never lived in a town without them)
- Geocaching - download the app (you can use the free version) and take walks trying to find them. Many have little treasures and you bring your own and take a treasure/leave a treasure. Don't forget a pen to write on the paper inside that you found it.
- nature scavenger hunts, download a free list online and search
- community events - touch a truck, fire open houses, etc.
- free farms and places to see animals
- free concerts in the park, movies

We are at the library pretty much every day. Between story times and special events they put on, that covers a lot. Adding trips to our local (free) splash pad or getting out into a sprinkler in the backyard when it’s hot pretty much fills everything else.
You can also take the kids out for errands if that’s possible. We go grocery shopping, poke our head into the goodwill or second hand stores, and even just walk around the mall.
On cooler days, we rotate through local parks and/or walk our dogs. They often offer programming as well for kids.

I completely feel you! Similar here, my daughter always wants to have a fun day (which means outside the house- doing something expensive lol)
We have a trampoline and water play in the yard; lucky us we have neighbors with 3 kids similar age they always want to get together and they also have trampoline and a pool; It will be a lot of back and forth between the 2 houses; am planning to do once or twice a week to the library too.
Am planning a water park once maybe twice this summer depending- and there's a theater that has kids play I think we'll be good and fun.
Like financially I want to try to do 2 fun out days, maybe 3 .. but realistically they'll have full fun days at home- they're in charge of making their games fun at home lol
Trying to keep a certain schedule will help too I think idk

Download the app kidsbowlfree, you can sign your kids up they will get 2 games a day free or you can do $40 for a family pass to add yourself or anyone else who may want to take them and everyone gets 2 games a day for free all you have to pay for is shoe rental. I’m signed up at 2 of my local bowling alleys and it’s great for getting out of the house especially with really hot weather.

Parks, splash pads, state parks, geo cache, library, play groups.

I'm a SAHM with a 6, 4 and 1 year old. M-F we usually go out 3x, and stay in 2x. We usually go out to a beach or playground or hike, all free stuff.

We're a part of Free Forest School, they have national chapters, they do child led hikes once a week. There's community play groups from the Family Resource Center, church groups, MOPS / MomCo.

I usually pack a lunch and we'll stay out all day until it's time to go home and make dinner.

Other 2 days we dont use the car, we do chores and learning, if we go outside we'll play with bubbles or chalk or ride bikes / scooters.

One of my mom friends tries to get out an hour every day.

Its completely different then my e all day day trips- and more manageable

The metro parks, and libraries have events so we do something once or twice a week at the library

One visit to a friend's
One visit to a metro park
Public pool or splash pad once a week

Its more for me than her. I can't stay in the house and be talked at all day.

I can’t figure out how to sign up to two locations but I did get us signed up, thank you so much!!
